just don't do anything you wouldn't do in the US and stay out of trouble.

I found this map, but it doesn't have directions from the border. you can always ask though

incase you are going to drink and drive in mexicali
make sure u have at least a twenty dollar bill in your wallet
mexicali cops are corrupted

i got pulled over like 6 times in mexicali drunk
and ive been able to pay off the cops..
im sure they dont want to deal with the paper work and bs
they'd rather take cash

mexicali is a cool place to party cheap beer, cool clubs
and if u dont want to drink and drive mexicali has million of taxis
so yeah... reason why i drank and drove was i wasnt going to leave my lexus is300 anywhere in mexicali fuck that.. i remember being at this one club one time over there, and some dude went outside to get something from his brand new truck and it was GONE!!
and he hadnt got insurance to leave the country so just imagine!!!
he looked pretty upset LOL .....sad but funny

Here's more 411. For those going, if it's a large group, you guys should do a meet up and go together.

VENUE
This venue is 10-15 minutes away from the border. It is NOT in the Strip or Hotel District. According to my cousins, they told me that it's a banda place (Mexican Country Music). I have no idea how the neighborhood is, as I never been on that side of Mexicali. I will try to find out more.

TICKETS
I emailed the promoters for more info on securing tickets for everyone that's going from here. Otherwise, be prepared to pay $30 at the door.

HOTELS
The major/nice hotels are all located in The Strip aka ZONA HOTELERA. Here's a few of my choices.

- Araiza Inn

- Crowne Plaza Hotel

- Hotel Lucerna

STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE
- If it's illegal in the US, it's more than likely illegal in Mexico!!! Drugs are a huge NO NO by Mexican cops. They will lock you up and make you pay a hefty fine if you get caught.

- More than likely you will get inspected by Mexican Immigration & Customs as you enter Mexico.

- Don't wear excessive jewelry. Just don't.

- Mexican parties tend to last all night. Usually they go way into the morning hours. But, this is a Thursday, so I dunno.

- Obey all traffic laws. They mexican traffic laws are similar to our. Pay attention to traffic signs. All posted speed limits are in KPH (Kilometers Per Hour). For instance, a sign with a 65KPH posted is NOT 65 MILES per Hour. That's 65 KILOMETERS PER HOUR or 40 Miles Per Hour.

- Don't Drink & Drive. Besides being stupid and killing your self or others, there's checkpoints all over the city.

MEXICAN AUTO INSURANCE
- Trust me!!! It's worth it. There's tons of places in Calexico that sell Mexican Auto Insurance for cheap. I pay $30 for full coverage for my 2008 Honda Accord.
